There is no drinking water in the city at all, there is a critical situation with drainage and gusts of sewer networks. There is a threat that sewage will end up in the sea and on the streets of the city.

Moreover, the number of bodies under the destroyed houses with the natural consequences of decomposition during the warm period can also contribute to the epidemic.

Victims: over 25,000 civilians killed since the beginning of the aggression;
